War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples was located in the west of the Black Turtle Sanctum.

Many small thatched cottages that appeared shabby were erected on a vast land.

When one looked upward, one could see many islands suspended in the air. These suspended islands did not look very big. There were wooden houses on these islands. Although the wooden houses were bigger than the thatched cottages, it was only slightly bigger.

These suspended islands with wooden houses were all suspended on the same level. It would be difficult for one to tell how many suspended islands there were in just a glance.

Above these islands, one could see other suspended islands that were much bigger in size. There were houses with a small courtyard on these islands. In the courtyards that were filled with plants, a stone table and chair stood on it.

Compared to the wooden houses and thatched cottages below, the environment here was much much better.

As one continued to look upward, one would see ten huge islands. There was a mansion on each of the ten islands. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy looked like fog around the islands.

From afar, one could tell that the richness of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy around the houses with a courtyard, wooden houses, and thatched cottages could not compare to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy on the ten suspended islands.

Duan Ling Tian and the others had followed the two Black Turtle Sanctum’s Bronze Flame Elders to the outside of the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples.

Their eyes were all fixed on the mansions on the tens islands that were suspended on the highest level.

“Do you see the ten mansions? Those are the Primus houses that Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples stay in. Each of the houses has more than ten large-scale Spirit Gathering Formations so the cultivation environment there is not inferior to the cultivation environment of Lord Sanctum Leader, the Silver Flame Elders, and Bronze Flame Elders!” One of the Bronze Flame Elders explained to Duan Ling Tian and the others.

Ten large-scale Spirit Gathering Formations?

The cultivation environment was not inferior to Lord Sanctum Leader’s residence?

The moment the Bronze Flame Elder finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately. He was filled with excitement when he looked at the ten suspended islands.

The others took a deep breath when they stared at the mansions on the ten suspended islands with a burning gaze.

“The Primus house is the best residence for Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples, and they belong to the ten strongest disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum,” the other Bronze Flame Elder chimed in.

The moment his words left his mouth, it seemed to have transformed into a bucket of cold water that was splashed on Duan Ling Tian and the others. They regained their senses and smiled wryly.

“No wonder… I was just thinking that not anyone can stay in such a place!”

“My goodness! The ten strongest disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum must be at the Quintessential Saint Stage at the very least, right?”

“Of course! There are three methods for disciples from the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums to enter the Saint Land and become a disciple there!”

“I’ve heard about this as well. The first way is to comprehend the high-grade Divine Ability from their respective Sanctum. Second, if one has a high innate talent, one might be able to obtain special permission from their respective Sanctum Leader to enter the Saint Land. The final way is to pass the Saint Land’s assessment. Among the three methods, the Saint Land’s assessment is the most difficult!”

“That’s right! It’s said that one’s cultivation base has to be at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage in order to pass the Saint Land’s assessment. Not only that, but some of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples who have just broken through to the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage could not pass the Saint Land assessment as well. It’s just too difficult!”

A few of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s new disciples who already knew about the ins and outs of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums discussed among themselves.

“Doesn’t this mean the ten Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples staying in the mansions possess cultivation base at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage? In fact, it’s very likely that some of them have cultivation base at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage. With my current strength, it’s impossible for me to stay in the Primus house to cultivate…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he heard their discussion. He was aware of his own strength, and he was not bothered that he would not be able to stay in a Primus house for the time being.

The fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had been restored, and according to Elder Huo, the cultivation environment was very different from the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Who knew if it would surprise him?

Naturally, the cultivation environment outside would affect the cultivation environment inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to a certain extent. Duan Ling Tian wished he would be able to cultivate in the Primus house as soon as he possibly could.

After learning that the ten Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples staying in the Primus houses were at least at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s new disciples around Duan Ling Tian no longer dared to harbor wishful thoughts. This was because their current strength was not a level where they could compete with the ten disciples living in the Primus houses.

Among the new disciples, the strongest was only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. He was still far from breaking through to the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, let alone the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage.

They all instantly shifted their eyes to look at the 100 courtyards located at the bottom.

At the same time, the voice of one of the Bronze Flame Elders resonated in the air. “These 100 suspended courtyards are also one of the residences for our Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples. They’re called Secundus houses. Although the cultivation environment is not as good compared to Primus houses, they have five large-scale Spirit Gathering Formations. That’s half of what the Primus houses have!”

Secundus house!

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as an eager expression appeared on his face.

The ten Primus houses belonged to Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage or above.

The 100 Secundus houses must house Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage and the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage.

He was no match for the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, but he knew he stood a chance going against disciples at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!

Among the new disciples, the few powerhouses at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage shared the same thought as Duan Ling Tian.

‘With my cultivation base at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, I should be able to stay in a Secundus house!”

“I don’t believe I’m no match for the disciples living in the Secundus houses who have cultivation base at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. I must defeat one of them so I can stay there!”

“There should be a place for me in the Secundus houses!”

A few of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s new disciples who were at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage said confidently.

However, one of the Bronze Flame Elders sneered when he saw how confident they were.

As the Black Turtle Sanctum’s new disciples who were at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage looked at him, he pointed at the place below the Secundus houses. “Can you see the wooden houses and thatched cottages? Those are called Tertius houses and Quartus houses! There’s a total of 1,000 Tertius houses and 10,000 Quartus houses. Not only that, but the occupancy rate is more than 80%! In other words, there are currently almost 10,000 disciples in our Black Turtle Sanctum. Did all of you think there are less than 100 disciples at the Quintessential Saint Stage among these almost 10,000 disciples? You wish to stay in a Secundus house with the little strength that you possess? How ridiculous!” When the Bronze Flame Elders finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

The few new disciples at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage blushed. They were so embarrassed that they wished the ground would open and swallow them up.

“Almost 10,000 people?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard the Bronze Flame Elder’s words. It did not cross his mind that the Black Turtle Sanctum had so many disciples. Black Turtle Sanctum was just one of the four Sanctums in the Four Symbols Sanctums.

‘Does this mean there are almost 40,000 outer disciples in the Four Symbols Sanctums alone? There are still Saint Land disciples and high-ranking officials that I’ve not taken into count!’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he gasped. He just realized how big the Fire Worship Sect was. In comparison, he was just one person and not worth mentioning at all.

This was definitely the biggest sect that Duan Ling Tian had encountered. “As one of the three strongest sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Fire Worship Sect really lives up to its name! Not only that, but even in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, these 40,000 people in the Fire Worship Sect can be considered as elites, let alone the outstanding powerhouses who’re standing above their peers. Those people are likely leaders in the Upper Province!”

“The Tertius houses contain three Spirit Gathering Formations, and there’s one Spirit Gathering Formation in the Quartus houses,” the Bronze Flame Elder said.

“I’m sure most of you have figured out the rules in this place. Apart from killing and intentionally crippling someone, you’re allowed to fight! As long as you’re strong enough, you’re allowed to seize a house from a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple.” The Bronze Flame Elder’s words managed to rouse the spirit of the new Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples, including Duan Ling Tian.

“Everyone, please look for a Quartus house and change into the Black Turtle Sanctum’s uniform. After that, you can begin to look for a place to stay in. It’s fine if you have your eyes on residences that are occupied. You can take possession of it if you can defeat the owners!” The two Bronze Flame Elders instructed Duan Ling Tian and the others before they left.

Duan Ling Tian and the others quickly made their way to the Quartus houses.

The occupancy rate of the Quartus houses was indeed more than 80%. Only a little more than 1,000 thatched cottages were vacant.

“The news disciples are here?”

A few people walked out of the Quartus and Tertius houses and stared at the new disciples who had walked out of the Quartus houses after they had changed into their uniforms.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian walked out, he heard a familiar voice say, “I want to challenge you!”

When he lifted his head, he saw Gu Chun whom he had a small dispute with earlier hovering in front of a Tertius house. A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple stood opposite him. Gu Chun possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root.

After that, Duan Ling Tian saw the other new disciples who also possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots. “They’re here as well?”
